Ayotzinapa Students: New International Report Shows Flaws in Government Investigation

Experts say that Mexico's official account of the 43 students who were apparently kidnapped and incinerated last year does not add up.

According to Reuters, a team of international experts say that there are deep flaws in the government's investigation into the missing student's case. The experts are dismissing the government claims that say the missing students were actually burned to ashes.

"That event never took place," Carlos Beristain, one of the investigators, said. "There should be a refocusing on the investigation based on these facts."

A large group of students were last seen being rounded up by police officers in the city of Iguala on Sept. 26, 2014. The case sparked outrage from friends and family members of the victims as they demanded for officials to help them find the students.

The report released on Monday has put extra pressure on Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto after he vowed to thoroughly look into the case of the missing students.

Parents of the victims are supporting the report stating that they no longer trust official investigations made by the government. The parents are also vowing to not let up on the government until their children are found.

"We've had enough of the government's crap," Mario Cesar Gonzalez, the father of one of the missing students, said. "We're poor, but we're not stupid."

The report reveals that there was involvement of corrupt local police and the mayor in the students' disappearance, CNN reported.

Only one of the missing students' remains was found just 11 months after they went missing. Mexico's government has officially declared the 42 other students dead stating that their bodies were so badly burned that they cannot be identified.

"The catalog of failures in the search and investigation into the disappearance of the 43 students that the group of experts has denounced is an enormous stain on the reputation of the Mexican government, which can only begin to recover if those responsible are found," said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director of the group.

Felipe de la Cruz, a spokesman for the students' parents, said the group wants to meet with Mexico's President and are still outraged about the government's explanation of what happened to the students.
